In my last blog entry, I shared with you some images from the free exhibition in Pisa, Italy, about the paintings of Artemisia Gentileschi and the costume designs on Anna Anni. Today, I want to show you images of my day trip to Pisa (from Florence). My friend Simone and I did not go into the main piazza where the famous Leaning Tower exists, although we could see the tip of the tower from various points around the city we did visit. I am happy to say that he was able to change my opinion of Pisa in a good way.

After seeing the exhibition at the Palazza Blu, Simone took me to a hidden little gem in which the locals favored. It is called Il Montino and was tasty and affordable. It is tucked away to the left of a short clock tower not too far from the river.

You may see more images of Pisa in my Facebook page, look in the photo album titled “Day Trips.”

Thank you for any amount of appreciation for the time of writing and creating images to share with you. Glad you have you along on this journey!

About Me

"I am interested in the more personal moments of our lives – things we do not often share with other people, or at least, not knowingly so. I am also fascinated by the duality of our nature, especially the idea that two opposing concepts exist in a strange kind of balance. Our thoughts are expressed through our bodies. I use the elements of visual language to appeal to the senses of sight and touch while exploring these ideas, seeking the universal in the personal. I want art to be a sensual experience." - Kelly Borsheim

Since her first painting sale in October 1997 (an oil painting titled Hand Off Knee),
Kelly Borsheim's paintings, drawings, and bronze and stone sculpture are now in private
collections throughout the United States and Europe, and in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

Kelly also worked as a street painter (pastels and chalks) in Florence, Italy for about four years. Her image-filled book "My Life as a Street Painter in Florence, Italy" is available on Amazon.com in many countries around the world, as well as directly from her studios.
